So.....I have a story about how I learned about Wild Nothing.  My son called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me about this new band, Wild Nothing, that he was super excited about.

While I instantly wanted to tell the world about what I had been repeating over and over on my iPod, it still took me a while to form the adequate words to do it justice... even now it seems slightly underwritten. After listening to In Dreams [...]

Wild Nothing's Golden Haze has a hypnotic gift of combining just enough tempo, guitar plucking, and twangy synth to create a beautiful nostalgic 80s vibe and melodically lo-fi modern twist courtship. The balance that Wild Nothing has found between these two [...]
